Maybe Tomorrow

I would have visited you today,
but my body just won't let me travel the distance
to be able to caress those letters with my feel...
maybe tomorrow I will run my fingers along the marble
and absorb the warmth of memory
as the sun shines through the clouds
on another beautiful, late spring day.

I never realized it 'til now,
but your day is between Mom's and mine,
kind of sandwiching you in our thoughts.
Now that brings a smile to my face,
as I sit here wondering
if you know how you are missed.

Maybe tomorrow, I can reach you,
have another heart to heart with you
and you will help me understand why
bad things happen to good people.

I will keep coming back,
I will never abandon you
for I know how that feels...

"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
(Will Moss)

Maureen,
what wonderful images, your body may fail you but your spirit soars.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Of course he knows, he is missed, Maureen...
I used to be an anthiest, but when my first husband died, I asked him to send me a sign...and he has sent many and they have been so full of meaning that I know that they were messages from him...

Your Dad knows...
don't ever doubt that.

I really loved your poem.
